Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining that the non-conversational noise is within a threshold of similarity to the previously identified non-conversational noise.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the category of noise comprises an alarm.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the non-conversational noise has no meaning within a selected vocabulary or dictionary.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device is physically proximate to the first device.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device is remote from the first device.

9

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device is associated with an emergency responder.

10

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting at least a portion of the first signal over a network to the second device.

12

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the second non-conversational noise is a siren.

13

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the acts further comprise causing the one or more communication interfaces to transmit at least a portion of the audio signal.

17

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16, wherein the second non-conversational noise is representative of an alarm and the second device is associated with an emergency responder.

18

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16, wherein the acts further comprise detecting a match between the first non-conversational noise and the previously identified first non-conversational noise based at least in part on similarity of characteristics of the first non-conversational noise and characteristics of a stored sound pattern template associated with the previously identified non-conversational noise.

19

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16, wherein the first non-conversational noise and the previously identified non-conversational noise have no meaning within a selected vocabulary or dictionary.

20

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16, wherein the acts further comprise transmitting data to a third device, the data to cause the third device to perform one or more actions as a response to the detecting the first non-conversational noise and wherein the third device is associated with an emergency responder and the second device is associated with a user of the first device.
